IT'S SPRING!!


Spring and Autumn are my favorite seasons. I love the weather, the sky, the plants, the trees. I just love everything about those two seasons. Spring, especially. I kind of like Winter, until Christmas is over - then I want Winter to be over So, when you start getting the temperature up a bit and you start to see the beginnings of those buds on the trees, start seeing those tulips and daffodils starting to push through the dirt - you know that Spring really has arrived!! I love when you can start thinking about wearing the summer clothes; shorts, capris, sandals and FLIP FLOPS!! I love the smells; lilacs blooming, trees budding, grass turning green, plain sunshine!! Spring just brings new life and gets me out of the hum drums. I have a real hard time after Christmas is over with the whole dark feeling that is associated with winter. I hate that when I go to work it's dark - I hate that when I come home from work it's dark. When Daylight Savings time hits - - I know it's SPRING and I love that it's suddenly light until around 8:00.

Easter is here in seven days. I am so excited for that, too. All my kids will be there, my mom. Tami is gonna come. Raja is going to bring his girlfriend; yep, my baby boy is growing up and has a girlfriend. I'll have to take pictures and post them here!!

I JUST LOVE THAT IT'S SPRING!!!!

CoCo's Journey - Mortality Reality

This week has been one for the books.  There has been some good things, not so good things and more.  I will explain. Last Saturday, my daughter and I drove to Idaho Falls.  We went to visit my bonus daughter and her family.  I wasn't feeling great.  But I wasn't feeling horrible.  By the time I got home, I had a lot of swelling.  I have been dealing with that for a few months.  I had started to see a specialist about my liver and my pancreas.  I had recently started a medication, it is a very pricey medication, but it's supposed to help me break down calories and nutrients so that my body absorbs them.  Even though I eat, my body was just shedding the nutrients and food I was eating and making it so I was not gaining weight.  I was 95 pounds.  And nothing I did would gain weight.  But I've gained 20 pounds over the last few months.  My clothes were uncomfortable.  But, I don't know if it's just the water retenti...

CoCo's Journey - TPN Me!!

 I just decided to do another post after spending my first night in my own bed with my new sexy bed partner.  TPN. TPN - Total Parenteral Nutrition.  Calories, vitamins, minerals and all that delivered through an intravenous line. PICC line -  A little stronger and more durable than a regular IV line.  It's inserted, via ultrasound, into a vein.  Mine is in my upper right arm.   IV Pump - an electrical system that pumps the IV fluid from my bag into my veins.   In essence, I have an IV bag, when first attached to my PICC line, it probably weighs 15 to 20 pounds.  It is kept in a backpack, so I can be mobile.  I have the pump plugged in, to keep it charged, when I'm not mobile and trying to get my home back in order after being gone for five days in the hospital. Me and my sexy new bed partner.  I know, I'm gorgeous.  Skinnier than a prepubescent 12-year-old boy and a mess.  Don't judge.  I'm working on it!! ...

CoCo's Journey - How Did I Get Here??

Malabsorption - definition - Malabsorption is a state arising from abnormality of food nutrients across the gastrointestinal tract.  Impairment can be single or multiple nutrients depending on the abnormality.  This may lead to malnutrition and a variety of anaemias (blood disorders). I have heard the term before.  But the first time I had heard it in response to me was a little over a week ago.  I was with my roommate daughter at her appointment and her doctor pointed to IVY and said, what's up with that??  So I told him.  And he said, people have no idea how hard it is when you have malabsorption.  People think you can just eat to make it better, but you can't. So let's go to the beginning.... If you have known me at all in the last few decades, you know that I was "morbidly obese".  I topped out at 245 pounds.  I had Type 2 Diabetes, high blood pressure, thyroid disease and stomach issues (gerd) for the last couple of decades and had taken...
